Designed for Explore 40 and 60
The Shimoda Rain Cover fits the Explore 40 and Explore 60 backpacks and can also be adjusted for the Action X series. It is built for photographers and outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable weather protection for their camera gear during travel or field work.
Lightweight waterproof protection
The cover uses a durable yet lightweight construction that adds minimal bulk while shielding the pack from rain, mud and wet beach conditions. Its waterproof design keeps contents dry during unexpected downpours and the bright colour improves visibility in outdoor environments.
Versatile external gear coverage
The versatile fit extends over externally carried items such as a tripod or extra accessories without removing them from the pack. Adjustable straps allow the cover to stay secure whether the hip belt remains in place on an Explore model or is adapted for an Action X backpack.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Shimoda Rain Cover on my Explore 40 or 60 backpack?
Slip the elastic hem over the pack body while the hip belt stays fastened, then cinch the drawcord tight so the cover cannot shift in wind.
What maintenance or replacement will this rain cover need over time?
Rinse salt or grit off after coastal trips and let it air-dry fully; the waterproof coating lasts years but reapply a fabric DWR spray if water stops beading.
What limit appears first during sustained heavy rain?
The cover sheds water indefinitely, but prolonged submersion or pressure from a tight tripod strap can eventually force moisture through the seams.
